Having an effective classroom allows my students to feel safe and loved. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble chairs are adjustable and will allow students to sit on the rug but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The moon table and dry-erase spots will be used during small group instruction to help work with my students one on one. The clipboards will be used during flexible seating and will give my students the choice on how they want to learn. The stickers will be used as a reward when students are doing well during independent classwork. The prize box and toys will be used for the star student at the end of the day.
